Not sure how we're supposed to really answer that. Only you know your reasons for upgrading, financial situation, etc. If you're completely happy with the 4.4, then why not hang on to it? Sounds...

There will always be a niche market for a manual transmission bimmer, whether it's an X3, X5, 850i, or a 1988 735i.
